katze und krieg explore how the same everyday city life can become a different reality through a changed perspective.
With a set of different mental reality glasses, the two performance artists move through the urban space together with their audience. In doing so, they immerse themselves in different realities. Can we shape reality by choosing another point of view? How differently can one and the same space be perceived? How does our perception influence what happens?
The audience is invited to accompany katze und krieg to test the glasses and to make their own observations.
